Apple changes policy and locks in screenshots once an app is approved

Apple announced a change on its Developer Portal on Wednesday that is designed to prevent scam artists from pulling the bait and switch routine by submitting an app with screenshots from a non-descript game and then swapping it out once the app is approved with screenshots from a popular game; this recently occured when a pair of fake Halo 4 apps were sold in the App Store...

Do they have any system in place for approving picture changes afterwards? What happens to legit apps that simply redesign their UI, or come out with a new feature? Is there a policy in place for them?

I see why Apple made this move, I just hate to see a couple "bad eggs" ruining it for everyone, you know what I mean?
